What is the matter
The result of the late elections
in Utah show pretty conclusively that
the Edmunds law does not cure poly
gamy to any great extent The saints
still hold the balance of power
Rev J Waymanof Mexico Mo has
favored us with a copy of a daily paper
of that city containing a report of a
sermon preached by him on the Liquor
Qaestion from a text selected by the
whiskey men
j There are probably more Social-

day they held a pic nic at which the
attendance is reported to have been
ten thousand
The LaPlata Home Press has entered
its eight volume Tlie Press is a well
edited handsomely printed paper and
deserves a better location where its
merits might command the recognition
they deserve The effort to publish a
nonpariel paper 111 a small pica toun is
ft hopeless task
The re union near Springfield at

Our own Senator -Vest judg
ing from the tenor of the dispatches
from the Presidential rartv low m
Wyoming territory is pretty nearly as
big a man as President Arthur The
important announcement that he
caught a nice mess of fish the other
day and had a talk with a big ingin
is given the country in the true Jen
kins style
Everywhere throughout the south-
ern and border states there are grow
ing indications that the fierce grip of
democratic rule is relaxing In the
old Dominion Mahone has demon
strated its weakness while in a num
ber of other states the people are res
tive and discontented with the old oli
garchy which has ruled and retarded
their material progress so many years
The latest political sensation comes
from Maryland Governor Hamilton
of that state has just given to the pub
lic a five column address in which
some startling disclosures are made of
the conduct of the three last democrat
ic legislatures The Governor charges
the most reckless extravagance neg
lect and corruption in the handling of
state funds and the distribution of
patronnge and backs up his state
ments with figures and facts
A recent dispatch from London says
that English land owners are excited
over the proposed agitation in the Uni
ted States against British investments
in American lands The newspapers
contain long discussions on the sub
ject The excitement was started by
dispatches from New York giving the
history of the recent secret meetings of
the American National Land League
at Coney Island These telegrams
stated that the League had appointed
secret committees composed ot first
class title lawyers to ascertain t
actly how many titles to lands in the
United States are held bj persons who
remain foreign subjects and report the
names and possessions to the league
The organization is to issue millions of
copies of pamphlets containing all the
facts 10 distribute these carefully and
to so arrange an agitation against the
policy of allowing aliens to become
real estate owners in any of the Uni
ted States as to make the question a
party one in the next Presidential cam
paign It is thought that Mr Parnell
A M Sullivan and Henry George are
we aireci mspirers 01 tne movement
and it is feared that the agitation may
become very serious and troublesome
The ground which willbe taken by the
agitators it is understood will be that
British influence is already too great in
American affairs that this influence
shows a natural tendency to Anglicise
the land laws and landlordism in the
American Union that the influenc
ought to be checked
NEGLECTED OFFORTUMT1ES
It strikes us that our citizens both
those in Kirksville and those in the
country do not fully appreciate the
importance of securing the location of
the proposed railroads now being pro
jected through north Missouri one
from Chicago to Kansas City and the
other from St Louis to some point in
Dakota According to assurances re
ceived from responsible sources the
first named road will be built and that
very rapidly and be in operation in
the next eighteen months or two years
at farthest With one or both these
roads secured the future of Kirks
villc as a railroad and manufacturing
center would be assured beyond all
question There would be no power
that could long retard her rapid growth
Manufactures need not then be
sought or courted but would come to
us of their own accord other roads in
the future would naturally make this a
point and the mere certainty that such
advantages would give us for our future
prosperity would enhance the real val
ue of every dollars worth of property at
least twenty five per cent at once We
have as yet in North Missouri no city
if importance and no favored point
where wealth capital and business can
center The field is open and Kirks
ville with her healthy and beautiful site
her educational institutions hersocia
advantages and the growth she has al
ready attained needs but this little
added advantage to set far ahead in
the race for pre eminence as the com
mercial center of northeast Missouri
On the other hand if the opportunity is
neglected if the advantages of the
possession of these two lines of road
are ignored and we lose one 01 both
we fear it will be many a year if ever
before we recover the advantage or
cease to regret our indifference in the
matter Shakespear says there is a
tide in the affairs of men which if taken
in their flow leads on to glory and un
dying fame but when they ebb they
ebb to flow again no more forever or
words to that effect and it is as true of
towns cities and states as of mdividu
als
RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE
The Washington World cites a par
ticular instance in the life of one man
w hich goes to show that wrong doing
even when it escapes the clutches of
the law often meets with its own dire
reward even in this life and the moral
would seem to be that it is best to do
right even though some temporary
phaze of society and custom might
side with abet and protect the wrong
doer that virtue and justice are pretty
sure things to tie to and that the old
saying that a man shall reap that
which he soweth is true The story
as told by the dispatches is as follows
In 1SG9 John Gilham a man of
good family and some property took a
prominent part in the operations of
the Ku Klux Klan to which he belong
ed and a warrant was issued for his
arrest for complicity in the brutal mur
der ot two negroes we might say
unoffending negroes but we do not
wish to add anything to the dispatch
Oiiham fled from home to avoid arrest
and for the last fourteen years he has
taken refuge in the swamps of Coweta
county Georgia with two large pistols
buckled around him avoiding all hu
man beings yet a terror to all of the
negroes wbo knew of his existence
there For a long time he had suffer
ed from cramps and a few days ago
an attack of this kind rendered mm
helpless He tried to get a negro to
go for assistance but the negro
knowing Gilham and his history refus
ed to go and so Gilham suffered for
hours alone He was finaliy found by
a party of fishermen but too late and
his fourteen years of retribution was
soon ended by death
MILIUM ASSOCIATION
The project of organizing a building
and loan Association has been discuss
ed to some extent by a number of our
citizens but so far no definite action
has been taken The Graphic has
mentioned the matter once or twice be
fore and as some curiosity has been
manifested as to how such organiza
tions are conducted we give the fol
lowing
To many persons the following illus
tration of the mode of working may be
of interest and will possibly give a bet
ter idea than a more extended or elab
orate description Organization is ef
fected by any number of persons ten
or more we will say fifty who incor
porate under the State law with offi
cers as follows President Vice Pres
ident Secretary and Treasurer the
two latter offices usually being filled by
one person At the first meeting after
organization stock is issued in shares
the par value of each being 100
Each share holder pays in the first in
stallment on the stock he takes 2
on each share Now if each member
has two shares of stock he would pay
4 making a fund to start with of 200
which is loaned to the member offering
the highest premium in addition to the
regular rate of mterest which is pre vu
ously fixed usually at 10 percent the
loan being made to a member who of
fers a premium of say 10 per cent the
business of the association for that time
is closed the details of the low as to
security etc being attended to by a lpan
committee whose report if approved
by the President constitutes an order
-1 Ai
on the Secretary and Treasurer for
payment of the money at the second
monthly meeting the members pay
their installments on shares and the
member to whom the loan was made
pays in addition the one twelfth part of
the interest and premium on his loan
which added to the other makes
20333 which is again loaned and so
on at subsequent meetings each meet
ing showing an increased amount on
hand to loan this continues until a
sufficient amount in connection with
interest and premium is paid in to
make the shares par value when a new
series of stock is issued
There is a perfect security against
loss as the funds are loaned as soon as
received the Secretary never needing
to have them in his possession over
three days The expense of such an
institution is merely nominal there be
ing but one salaried office that of Sec
retary and Treasurer There is no
other institution that offers such ad
vantages to clerks boJc keepers me
chanics school teachers or any one
having small amounts to invest each
month as does the Building and Loan

The New Building of Smiths Business College is approaching
completion 77ie roof timbers are being put on and the brick work
is almost done Plastering to be done in a short time attention
is called to the advantages of purchasing Scholarships while the
price is 2500 as it is contemplated raising the price to 4000
as soon as the building is completed No doubt there aje many
who oitght to share in this enterprise lut think they are not quite
ready and delay from day to day taking any action The present
low trice was made to enable the proprietor to promptly meet ex
penses and by thus showing the advantage of loiu prices with the
subscriber gain by having the money when it would do a greater
amount of good since it saves paying interest etc No better invest
ment can be made as this class of colleges are made a necessity to
almost every man and woman because of the wonderful and mar
velous growth and increase of business from the rapid extension of
railroads and other cauws whose very momentum forces into exist
ance this class of school Kirkniille is then in the front rank
again as she was in tfe days when the State Normal was establish
ed here Let there be aunanimous response and as many scholar
ships taken as possible while the Jr ice is 2500 TJtcse member
ships being transferable until they are taken up and used are sim
ilar to investments in railroad and other stocks and more profitable
as a matter of investment as 15 JX on every one purchased at
present price is more gain than is usually offered in other enterprises
besidis when the building is completed there is aery reason to believe
they can be sold or exchanged often al a premium up to 40 This
has been the expetience in other places Apply in person or by letter

been somewhat ot a draw-
Who says there is not a watchful
providence An exchange says A
Michigan cyclone swept through a
streak ot timber gathered up several
cords of wood carried it six miles
across a prairie and deposited it on the
premises of a poor widow who was too
poor to buy a stick and unable to carry
it from the timber There was ot least
ten coids deposited within easy nicb
ot her home Clever cyclone It is
easy enough to be clevpr with somebody
elses cord wood Pecks Sun
A Flotilla hen so says an exchange
built her nest and hatched a brood o
chicKens in a hollow tree twenty feet
from the ground This is in accord to
Darwins theory of evolution The
southern hen has accustomed herself to
hpr surroundings and the possibilities
of gracing some colored statesmans

higher level and will possibly develop
